SummerSlam 2001 Live Discussion - May 7, 2020

Austin turning on Vince for asking for the "old Stone Cold" is great.

I mean Vince got what he wanted after all

 

[Sky]

Austin turned heel twice in a year, first for Vince and then against him. Booking is confusing

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Austin is jealous of Vice hugging Angle. 2001 is great. Who can actually disagree with me?

 

[Chris]

Austin turning on Vince for asking for the "old Stone Cold" is great.

The fact that we both got his face return to the "old" Stone Cold and then the swerve was awesome

 

[Kross Rhodes]

this shit crapping on the current wwe don't @ me

No lies.

 

[Chris]

I normally would have complained about a second Austin turn so soon but it fit so well with the story and it was clear they planned it from the start so it was great

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Kurt Angle is literally the best wrestler in the world right now and Austin is the best brawler and debatably the best heel I AM HYPE

Angle and Austin both had peaks in 2001. Angle had many peaks. Don't @ me.

 

[Chris]

01 is Austin's best year IMO

 

[Chris]

Angle's peak was 03 in ring, character-wise was 01 though

 

[Petty]

wwe give me this now. I would come back to wrestling.

That shit wouldn't have flown in TEW.

 

[Chris]

But he was still the best wrestler in the world in 01...which was before his peak EAD2

Vince mad fun of him and asked for the old Stone Cold, right before the Invasion so he got angry.

 

[Petty]

austin turning on wwf was GOAT

The best television came in 2001 I swear. That moment when he break the pool cue to whip WCW ass is great and then his swerve after faking an ankle injury.
